Answer

common factor $(x+5)$ x-intercept=3, y-intercept=1.5, vertical asymptotes $x=-1,2$, horizontal asymptote $y=0$ Domain {$x|x\ne-5,-1,2$}, Range $(-\infty,0.1]\cup[1,\infty)$

Work Step by Step

Factor the numerator as $(x+5)(x-3)$ Test $x=-5,3$ for a zero in the denominator and use synthetic division to factorize. $r(x)=\frac{(x+5)(x-3)}{(x+5)(x-2)(x+1)}$ common factor $(x+5)$ x-intercept=3, y-intercept=1.5, vertical asymptotes $x=-1,2$, horizontal asymptote $y=0$ Domain {$x|x\ne-5,-1,2$}, Range $(-\infty,0.1]\cup[1,\infty)$
